Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I purchased this car used from a dealer in 2001 in michigan. (I don't think the air conditioning ever worked ). Within a few months the traction control went out. It would be on, when the car started, but within driving 300ft. Would go out and could not be turned back on from the button. A few months after that all of the dash lights went out when ever you turned on the head lights. This was due to a bad switch & a short. Then the cruse control went out. A few months after that we had to replace the head gaskets due to the engine over heating by an unknown cause. …”

NHTSA complaint #10024333, filed 2003-06, 100,000 miles

“I bought my car as a used vehicle and have had trouble since I bought it. I have had trouble with the motor, the air conditioner does not work, the cruise control does not work. When it was engaged it would jerk hard ( speed up then slow down) I have no dash lights when I turn on my headlights. My radio lights do not work either when I turn on my headlights. It is dangerous to drive. I need to know what to do to fix this problem. There is also a problem with the passenger door lock. You can not unlock it with the power locks.”
